Live with team led by soldiers (6)
I believe the answer is:
reside
'live' is the definition.
(I know that live is a is a more specific form of the action of reside)
'team led by soldiers' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'led by' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go in front of others).
'soldiers' becomes 're' (Royal Engineers).
'side' after 're' is 'RESIDE'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "Make one's home permanently" , "Dwell, be present (in)" , "Desire (anag) - to live" , "Lodge" , "Stay - desire (anag)" .)
